The following is a summary of HealthUnity’s proposed architecture for healthcare
information networks (HIEs and RHIOs). For a copy of the detailed document please
request the “Model Architecture for the National Health Information Network” whitepaper

the whitepaper
As we discussed earlier, HIEs provide a centralized node for handling all RHIO-specific
functionality.
Since different RHIOs and HIEs may require isolation of information between each
other all the crucial data held by RHIOs and HIEs is separated from other RHIOs
and HIEs, while still having well defined interfaces in place to enable RHIO to
RHIO communication and collaboration.
A typical HIE / RHIO service node provides the following services
- Master Person Index
- Emergency Data Repository
- Passive surveillance applications
- Ancillary Service connectivity
- Practice node membership registry
- Billing Services
- Management and Monitoring applications
- Auditing and Reporting functionality
- Patient Portal Services
The following are described in detail in the whitepaper:
Master Person Index
Electronic Referrals and Consultation
Electronic Lab Orders/Results
Electronic Prescription Filling
Electronic Check-In
Longitudinal Medical Information Repository
Passive Surveillance Applications
Ancillary Service Connectivity Gateway
Practice Node Membership Registry
Billing Services
Management and Monitoring
Smart clients are defined as easily deployable
and manageable client applications that provide an adaptive, responsive and rich
interactive experience by leveraging local resources and intelligently connecting
to distributed data sources.
Auditing and Reporting
Patient Portal Services
